chisq.,test`

Hi
 
 I am trying to do this:

I get no syntax error on R 2.1.1-patched. I do get an error though:

Error in chisq.test(c(11, 13, 12, 18, 21, 43, 15, 12, 9, 10, 5, 28,
22,  :
        probabilities must sum to 1.

Which leads us to question the values you provided as argument p (which
I assigned to a vector P first)

sum(P)
[1] 0.999783

So you need to make sure your probabilities add sum to one.

HTH

Ps. It would have been helpful if you'd posted the syntax error you
received and your version of R - type version at the R prompt.

but I keep on getting syntax error.  Is this to long, or somehow badly
formed?

Having cut&pasted your data as published in your email into R-1.8.0
on Red Hat Linux 9, I encountered no "syntax error" and got the
result:

  data:  c(11, 13, 12, 18, 21, 43, 15, 12, 9, 10, 5, 28, 22, 11, 15,
  [...]

  X-squared = 1094.448, df = 414, p-value = < 2.2e-16

Fee: For each P-value of the form "x.ye-N", N beers.

Hoping this helps ... though your "syntax error" remains mysterious.

Best wishes,
Ted.
